Well, this might be bullshit, but apparently, a game journalist who wished to remain anonymous contacted /v/'s Facebook page Corruption in Video Game Journalism told them that Operation Disrespectful Nod (a letter writing campaign where people send all the collected information about the censorship and such to the advertisers of gaming news sites) is working, and places like Kotaku, The Escapist, and other such 'Gaming Journalist' websites are currently having their advertisers breathing down their neck about this, causing the recent "ALL GAMERS ARE SEXIST, GAMERS ARE DEAD, WHY GAMERS AREN'T IMPORTANT ANYMORE, and GAMERS ARE UNNECESSARY" type articles to be written in a bizzare attempt to somehow make gamers no longer be the ones who play video games (wut).

The funny thing is, gamers have been seen as freaks/outcasts since the 90s, and now that gaming is 100℅ mainstream, the same people who acted like gamers were the second coming of the nerdy, neckbearded D&D nerds are now trying to take over the gaming culture while forcing gamers back into the shadows.

Just gonna... Leave this Green text I saw on /v/ here about how the additude towards gamers have been since the 90s.

90s
